Google Places for Web Firm

Greetings, we are a web development company. In the past (the previous version of google places) we manage all our clients' listings under our one main account. Then google started the switch to the google+/places thing... Our old system never switched over, it says there is a new one and will switch automatically when it's ready but it hasn't moved. We have since set up google apps and want to switch all of those listings over to our new google apps account to manage, however the "transfer" option only works between accounts both with the "new" system.. there is no way to just transfer the old ones to the new one.. so my thought is that we have to delete them all from the old account and add them all new in the new one.. which is fine (i guess).. but my question is if that is the best way to manage all of those? We will essentially be managing 200ish google+ pages that way correct? any suggestions as to how to manage many listings for a large variety of clients (and/or how to migrate from the old system to the new one without just deleting and repopulating).

"This focus is primarily on the single location business. In doing so anyone that has to manage multiple pages and or locations is still confronted with the slow and tedious card selection metaphor to pick the correct page and get into the location or page dashboard. This interface, works ok with 2 or 3 pages but once you exceed the visible on screen area it becomes tedious very, very quickly. While a single user can manage 100 businesses via this interface, they may commit suicide in doing so.

Bulk upload is still is a work in progress and this upgrade doesn’t affect the shortcomings in that interface or process.

Brands still have no way to have a single stream across multiple locations nor to easily manage the social presence of multiple pages. Long a promised feature (link) this is a glaring hole in Google’s Plus strategy."

I would suggest contacting Google to get their advice on your large client base, given the whole new dashboard rollout.
